Hi,
I’m very happy to accounce we have just released Virtual Storage Integrator (VSI) 6.8!
If you have been living under a rock for the past 6 years, this is our vCenter (web) plugin that you can use to manage all of the EMC arrays, in the context of XtremIO there are so many things you can do with it that I’m using in a daily basis to manage my vSphere lab, oh, and it’s free which is always good.
If you want an overview of what the plugin does, you can start by reading here:
